3 UCLG Learning Forum
RD
UCLG World summit of local and regional leaders
2
We are pleased to welcome you at the third UCLG Learning Forum. We will centre our attention on the importance of learning as a network. During two days, learning sessions exploring different thematics will provide a modality for practical, forward-looking exchanges between members, partners and networks. All participants are invited to experience diverse learning methodologies. Besides exchange and mutual inspiration of partners and members, it will also give an opportunity to shape ideas for follow up in 2017. The outcomes of the first and second Learning Forum were gathered in two publications1 and this year we will experiment other means of communication.
Cities, local and regional governments have the need for practical solutions to fulfil the citizens’ demands. In this regards, sub-national governments are strong partners and supporters regardless of their development stage. Therefore, learning cannot be conducted alone but has to be part of partnerships with others. With this in mind, we want to thank Connective Cities, the International Labour Organization, UN-Habitat, OIDP, eThekwini - MILE and the UCLG Committees on Urban Strategic Planning, Local Finances and Development, and Social Inclusion, Participative Democracy and Human Rights, for the collective effort in the coordination of the learning sessions.
We invite you to actively participate and be part of this experience. The objective is to build on the sharing of challenges and positive experiences that will be presented in every learning session. We will test together diverse methodologies, while addressing concrete interests of our members. Join us and contribute to a cohesive network. Learning is an investment in building trust and relationships by fostering dialogues and understanding between participants. It is instrumental to shape the future we want!

Learning forum:concepts and trends
the importance of learning
13 October 18:00 T0 19:30
The session will set the scene and provide a general understanding of the importance of learning for professionals and leaders, specifically in local governments. The session will share some insights about the importance of the concept of learning behavior and learning within cities. It will be also the opportunity to explore the challenges we face as a learning network and link learning to decentralized cooperation.
Through a discussion with all the participants, the session will explore the way ahead for the UCLG Learning Agenda and remind the key elements for learning: work with good strategies, have quality facilitation and build partnerships. Learning is part of a general evolution in society, in mindsets, in relations, in communication, in decision making, in marketing, and last but not least, in the ways services are provided in response to the changing demands.

Practical session: strategic facilitation
Methodology
Who is ?
13 October 9:00 T0 10:30
Facilitation is essential for any learning events in particular those involving local practi-tioners. Facilitators carry the responsibility to ensure that the audience, the methodology, and the speakers are linked together. In order to be efficient, facilita-tors need a series of soft skills in order to share observations, gather outcomes, plan and adjust the learning methodolo-gies with the view to meet the
needs of each group and achieve the expected results. For these reasons, the session will be a 90-minute training works-hop on “The Art of Strategic Facilitation”. In this workshop, participants will actively explore some of the essential soft skills for good facilitation.
MILE will coordinate this works-hop.
As a cooperating and suppor-ting member of UCLG, MILE will coordinate a session on the Art of Strategic Facilitation.

Session on MOBILITY
Methodology: gallery of practices
Who is ?
13 October 11:00 T0 12:30
The learning session on Mobility facilitates the exchange among cities’ representatives and learning from experience. It focuses on different issues of urban transport systems and urban mobility. To this regard, a participatory method, using a mixture of Gallery of Good Practices and Practitioners’ corner will shape the workshop.
In each of the four tables of this learning session one or two speakers will present a Good Practice. A series of posters
will be designed to present each Good Practice stressing on a visual technique instead of presentations.
There will be 6 different posters and will all include the following structure to present the practice: 1.The starting point, 2.The institutional setting, 3.The approach, 4.The outcome, 5.The lessons learnt, 6.The Transfer opportunities of a Good Practice.
As a cooperating and supporting Partner of UCLG, the Connective Cities will coordinate a session on Mobility. Connective Cities is an operator of the UCLG Learning Agenda.

local finances, inclusive governance and participatory budgeting
Methodology: PEER REVIEW
Who is ?
14 October 9:00 T0 10:30
Peer Review is a methodology increasingly used in the exchange of knowledge between managers and politicians. The main objective of the session is to articulate fundamental topics: financial management, inclusive governance and participatory budgeting in different contexts of decentralization and different degrees of inclusion of the population. The session will also promote participatory budgeting
as an interesting policy for cities. The session will enable the identification of experienced members, experts and partners, as well as, new cities interested in implementing this type of policies. Two case studies will be discussed during the session. A group will talk about the experience of Pikine, while another group will approach the experience of La Paz.
Local finances, Inclusive Governance and Participatory Budgeting
The International Observatory on Participatory Democracy (IOPD) work hand in hand with UCLG and operates as an independant network to share knowledge on public participation and democracy.
This session is co-organized by the UCLG Committee on Local Finances and Development and the Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights together with OIDP.
Who are ? UCLG Committees prepare and imple-ment policies within priority areas. CLFD and CSIPD have play an impor-tant role for the Learning Agenda by including learning as a service for members to strengthen the network.

City-to-city and south-south and triangular cooperation for decent work
Methodology: temporary Think-tank
Who is ?
14 October 11:00 T0 12:30
The thematic session will explore the value of city-to-city cooperation linked to the challenges
of the SDG 8. City-to-city coope-ration has been increasingly lin-ked to, and has benefited from the practice of South-South and Triangular Cooperation as an in-novative means to develop local solutions to often global issues. SSTC constitutes an exchange among equals, the identification of innovative practices, and pro-motes collaborative initiatives
at the national, regional, and interregional levels.
Participants will work on topics related to local economic deve-lopment and decent work on which they have already engaged or wish to engage in the future. They will be asked to identify synergies and possible linkages in order to reinforce city-to-city cooperation on decent work. A final debate, building on the discussions, will help examine potential topics and partners.
C2C and sstc on decent work
The only tripartite U.N.Agency, since 1919 the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers representatives of 187 member States, to set labor standards, develop policies and devise programs promoting decent work for all women and men.
ILO is a close partner of UCLG and together they have organized more than 5 learning events linked to South-South and Triangular Cooperation on decent work and local economic deve-lopment.

Session on public space
Methodology: World café
Who is ?
14 October 18:00 T0 19:30
The session on public space links to the Learning Agenda directly as the information influencing the content - namely the Policy Framework - was developed using some of the material obtained during Learning Exchanges (Durban, Porto Alegre and Blantyre). This session provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of peer learning events and to showcase how learning can be used to influence and shape policy development at the local level.
The practical session on Public Space will be designed using a modified version of the world café methodology. For the Public Space workshop we want to develop, together with all the co-organizers a common question related to the importance of learning in relation to SDG11 in particular on public space. All the co-organizers will have time to present and explore more concrete questions related to learning and Public Space as a key lever for urban development.
Public space
The Committee brings together UCLG member cities from across the world to exchange experiences and learn from one another about urban planning. CUSP’s long-term goal is to improve local governments’ knowledge of planning policies and tools and their relationship with international development partners.

Casting
Case presentation
Key questions
The first step is the casting in which a moderator and the presenter of the case are appointed. The rest of the peers (participants) volunteer as consultants.
Then comes the case presentation regarding the current situation and challenges.
Key questions have to be selected by the case in order to get advice from the consultants on expected and specific points. In this sense, the problem has to be clearly identified.
method choice
consultation
Conclusion
During the consultation, the participants will share their ideas, suggestions and contributions regarding the selected consultation. The presenter of the case becomes a listener while others consult.
As a conclusion, it is important to report the reflection and the lessons learned from the case presented including the consultants’ comments. The presenter of the case gives feedback at the end about the general usefulness of the lessons.
Each case will have a tailored method for the consultation that has to be explained to the participants.

friday 14 October from 18:00 to 19:30
Practical session on public space
If you want to experience this methodology join this learning session:
Create a “special” environment, most often modeled after a café, i.e. small round tables covered with a checkered or white linen tablecloth, butcher block paper, colored pens, a vase of flowers, and optional “tal-king stick” item. There should be four chairs at each table (optimally) – and no more than five.*
The host begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the World Café process, setting the context, sharing the Cafe Etiquette, and put-ting participants at ease.*
The process begins with the first of three or more twenty minute rounds of conversation for the small group seated around a table. At the end of the twenty minutes, each member of the group moves to a different new table. They may or may not choose to leave one person as the “table host” for the next round, who welcomes the next group and briefly fills them in on what happened in the previous round.*
setting
welcome and introduction
small groups rounds
After the small groups (and/or in between rounds, as needed), indivi-duals are invited to share insights or other results from their conver-sations with the rest of the large group. These results are reflected visually in a variety of ways, most often using graphic recording in the front of the room.*
Each round is prefaced with a question specially crafted for the specific context and desired purpose of the World Café. The same questions can be used for more than one round, or they can be built upon each other to focus the conversation or guide its direction.*

• The use of space is very important.• Make sure you have defined clear questions. • This method is time intensive and requires an active
listening.• You can benefit from different perspectives. • It allows you to identify future partners according to
their interests.• Participants move from a passive-receptive attitute to
an active and productive participation.

Peer learning is believed to be a strong tool to empower technically and politically local governments. For this reason, the public servants themselves should share and learn from each other. It is an inspiring opportunity for the participants to share practical knowledge, experiences and chal-lenges, as the equal peers.
